post-conquest plague island coop cursed crown

[teleshoes]

its MUCH harder now! only about 60 archers will target the greed on each side. bloodmoons still freeze just before dawn until you kill the last breeder, so several walls will fall each bloodmoon.

this requires being able to fallback without getting overrun by zombies. i LOVE that this challenge is now both fairly hard, and needs a special strategy with the special power of the steed, AND that you cant win just by mindlessly running back and forth every day.

also, you get the cursed crown on day 80, not day 60. im not sure this was a change.

kudos to the devs on making this challenge finally balanced!

my post-conquest strategy:

1) day 1 - day 15
-get 8 peasants per day, every day (target is 250-300 villagers by winter)
-ignore the farthese camp, get 2 camps on one side
-get stone tech
-clear enough trees to get a farm, and 4 famers

2) day 15 - day 38
-destroy nearest camp on both sides
-get 4 peasants per day
-get iron tech
-expand to 4 or 5 towers on each side (evenly, e.g.: p1 on left, p2 on right)
-expand to 8-16 farmers in 3-4 farms
-put 200 coins in the bank
-pay for ~250 archers, and 8-12 workers

3) day 38 - day 56
-expand to 8 or 9 walls on each side (you only 'need' 6, but i needed more for later bloodmoons)
-get berry economy going (4 bush slots per side)
-ensure you have 4 knights (with swords, fully coined-up)
-kill boar if close enough
-pay for 2-3 fire barrels every night
-ensure 4-6 pikemen per side every night

4) day 57 - 80
-be prepared for each bloodmoon
-day 57 bloodmoon should be the first one where your walls fall
-drop a full purse just outside, and make sure you still have a full purse
-get EXACTLY 3 fire bombs (enough to ensure breeders get lit on fire, and still hit by a rock or two)
-when each wall falls to the 4 breeders, use your power juust before the first greedling attacks
-the knights should repel the 16 greedlings without losing a soldier
-GIVE COINS TO THE KNIGHTS AS THEY RETREAT. if you lose both knights, you cannot fall back
-build towers, inside and outside walls. only half your archers will attack anyway.
-as soon as 1 side is safe, run over to double-invincible
-as soon as bloodmoon is over, rebuild the farthest wall, then the catapult, then fire, then all inner walls

i bought 2 farms each and 9 walls each before day 60, and both players got the cursed crown the dawn of day 80, without building anything else.

a different time, on day 86, i paid for a farm and we both instantly got the cursed crown. its possible you might also need farmers, since i had 4 farmers.

after 4 or 5 completions, as far as i can tell these are the only requirements:
-you must survive to dawn of day 80
-you must build 6 iron walls each (paying the final upgrade)
-you must buy 1 farm (each? total? i somehow forgot to check every time)

Thank you very much for your help and those practical tips <3

One more thing to add: The builder bug on Plague Island is still a thing even after the update. It's pretty annoying, as you lose each night about 4 villagers? + the coins you have spent on hammers. You have to always buy new ones and make sure that you have enough builders, because they die rapidly. It just makes Plague Island a pain in the butt.

hmm, what builder bug? i didnt experience any loss of builders.

i DID get the greed arriving during daytime bug again, but only on one side, and it went away after i built out about 4 towers.

EDIT: the bug where you can pay to chop down a tree near the tentacle-wall, but the worker will just run up to it, then run away, then run back up to it, forever. i DO get this bug, and its annoying, but the workaround is just not to mark trees near the wall
